Re: Yeah, but...

100Mbps? I thought that they were limited to 26. Please educate me.

VDSL2 is capable of 100meg at 1000 feet. They are provisioning out to 3000 feet with vdsl at 25meg. There is room for growth in bandwidth as the technology matures and pair bonding is added.

Yes. The above poster is wrong in the 100 MB figure. It is limited to about 26 as far as I know without bonding...

He also totally jumped the gun on the above poster's words. He didn't say they had "VDSL 1.5" deployed. He said that they had VDSL deployed and that 1.5 MB internet connections were a joke.

I thought that u-wave was to be ADSL2+, which offers sync up to 24/3. Are you sure about the VDSL protocol usage?

They are using vdsl. ADSL2+ maxes out at that, where as they are getting 25meg at 3000 feet right now.

Exactly. I am in a major metro and live over 16000 feet from the CO. 100Mb. Yeah, right. 1.5 is all I can get via DSL, that's why I'm with cable.

I used to be at 13000 feet, I an now at about 3000 feet. Things change.

Theoretically, we have the following situation:
VDSL's maximum symmetric speed is 26 Mbps, but with asymmetric transmission, it's 52 down and 12 up.
VDSL2's maximum (again theoretical!) is 250 Mbps, with 100 Mbps at 500 m.
Again, your mileage may vary
